    Very weird, I don't know what it is, but I seriously doubt it's in space...

    This is what happens when a satellite in Earth orbit passes over the telescope during observing. It reflects light but only sticks around long enough to get captured by one color filter. So a #satellitetrail will always show up as bright blue, red or green.
